It’s a perfect set-up for entertaining a big group or a cozy spot for that much-needed family time.The location is the perfect balance between city walkability and quiet, safe, family neighborhood. We’re right across the street from Historic Oakwood Cemetery, where neighbors walk, kids ride bikes, play in the creek, and visit historic markers from past presidents and famous southerners.We’re an easy commute by foot or car to all things downtown (1 mile or less to attractions including Marrimon-Wynne, Red Hat Amphitheater, the Convention Center, and NC State Campus).By city standards, our backyard is huge. There’s a new Weber chef’s grill, outdoor dining and lounge furniture, large sandbox, a garden with blackberries, tomatoes, figs and fresh herbs (for you to pick and enjoy), and an expansive, fruiting pecan tree and tree house. Our kids LOVE the yard and spend hours climbing, digging, swinging, running, and being wild kids.We live here full-time, so the house is well-equipped with anything you’d ever need to entertain your group.

The primary suite is very private and with tons luxury amenities — spacious shower with handmade tile, double shower heads, built-in speakers, and jetted soaking tub. With the tap of a screen, the shower converts to a steam room. If you’re into pilates, yoga or meditation, head up to the loft above the sleeping space for a session on our pilates studio reformer, padded floor mats, yoga gear, bluetooth speaker, and essential oil diffuser. From the loft, there’s a gorgeous view and a secret hatch that leads to the roof top deck. Or enjoy a cup of coffee on the suite’s private balcony, with views of Raleigh’s skyline.Down the hall, you’ll find a large office with panoramic views of natural, tree-lined open space over the neighborhood.
